NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3g1121

Cyclobutadiene is

Aaromatic because it has two double bonds
Bantiaromatic
Caromatic
Dnon-aromatic because it is non-planar and not conjugated

Answer: B

Cyclobutadiene is a planar, cyclic, conjugated system with 4 pi electrons (

4 n

,

n = 1

). Such systems are antiaromatic and unstable.
